Goods once sold shall not be taken back since we have no use for them thereafter (or subsequently)

The phrase "Goods once sold shall not be taken back ..." is a common phrase appearing in terms of sale of various selling organisations, and the bit about the reason is only a little extrapolation which gives the justification for the same. Options given by others all, in principle, convey the same idea, but the phrase used by them is not really so widespread in usage by selling organisations to the best of my knowledge and belief!

a try

Once ordered the buyer must accept the goods. Goods will not be taken back as we shall be unable to find any use for them.

"returned goods are useless for us"

Once ordered, goods must be accepted as they become useless for us.

Or

Once ordered, goods must be accepted as they are rendered useless for us.
